This guy was first seen hanging alone quite a while ago, i think it was 2020, when he was seen with DM and Ximhungwe female and cub in Northern Sabi Sands. 

He still looks quite young, he must have been ousted at very young age, prob at ~ 2 yrs of age.

I am confused. Is he a young Imbali male or one of the Talamati young males who was missing when confronting S8? TIA.

Not Talamati, he is from Mluwati Concession, but unknown from which pride.

He was prob ousted under pressure of Imbali and Hamiltons male in 2020, he shouldnt be son of those 2, as he is most certaintly older then mid 2019, when this 2 came in.

Possibly younger brother of 4/5 Imbali males, sons of Mluwatis, but we dont know for sure.

Quick pass through of the Torchwoods at Nkorho. The young male with the badly healed leg is still alive.

That is a really resillient young boy. His bad leg seems to not be affecting him much, I think he learned how to walk and run with that wonky leg so he can keep up with the pride. However, when he becomes a nomad, he might have issues hunting because of it. Althoug Torchwoods does have a couple other young males he can partner up with

Wide Nose Ndhzenga has similar thing, although healed in a wrong way, foot is still functionable, only problem is that he cant run as fast, but as you said, if he is not alone, its durable.

He was not seen since late 2021, where his condition was not great.

N. Avocas and the Nkhuma Pride in the beginning.  Mohawk shows some of his stalking skills.  

The guide said it was the Sand River Pride towards the end, but I'm not so sure.  Those males look too young to be the S. Avocas and I didn't think they had any sons that old, but I could be wrong.

One of the Ndzhengas mating with one of the Ntsevu Birmingham daughters towards the beginning.

Nhena and NYM reunited towards the middle of the video.  They are moving back towards western Sabi Sands.  I hope they don't go after the Othawa Pride again.  

The Tsalala Pride shows up at the end.  Their bond seems very strong.  I'm wondering where the older lioness will decide to den cubs if she gets pregnant.

Nkuhuma Young Male sighted by Dulini today.  

Seems there’s validity to them coming back in westerly direction.

One thing I am curious about with the bond that is forming between the Tsalala and Mhangeni lioness. Would it be possible if they meet up with the rest of Mhangeni pride, they might accept the Tsalala lioness because of the Mhangeni lioness? Wonder if she would defend Tsalala and because Mhangeni lioness is one of the senior lionesses would that help? One can hope. That would be retribution for the original 4 Mhangeni lionesses killing their Grandmother! Sadly only two left of the original 4.
